Olivia Inge seeks to reach behind the veil

Olivia Inge, the model, plans to visit Afghanistan to find out more about
Afghan fashion.

Linda Norgrove's death was a horrific reminder of the dangers in Afghanistan, but the model Olivia Inge says she is keen to visit the country.

Inge, who is a descendant of the Liberal prime minister William Gladstone, took part in the London charity show Made in Afghanistan. "I had quite a boxed view of it before that, but it has made me look at it in different way and made me want to find out more."

Inge, 29, says she was, though, upset by an incident on Afghan Star, the country's version of Pop Idol, in which judges gave one finalist a dressing-down after her veil slipped, revealing her hair. "How dare these dictators say what women can and can't wear? It really upset me."

Tracey Emin suffers for her art

No artistic party in London is complete without Tracey Emin, but she reluctantly had to send her regrets to the organisers of a soirée at DKNY in Mayfair to launch a charitable fundraising initiative.

There was talk of her having fallen over her own unmade bed, which, while it would have been poetic, was not , she later assured me, the case.

"I live in a Georgian house with a treacherous wooden staircase," she says. "Unfortunately, on Monday night, as I carried a pot of tea on a tray to bed, I slipped. I managed to save my treasured China tea pot, but broke three ribs in the process. Not really rock 'n' roll. It could not have happened at a worse time as this is Frieze [art fair] week. But I hope not to miss out on everything."

Sir Richard Gozney's son fights back

His father, Sir Richard Gozney, is the Governor of Bermuda and is charged with keeping order on the small but prosperous island. Alexander, his 20-year-old student son, is clearly a chip off the old block.

He has just helped to put away an islander on a charge of possessing and firing a gun after the man shot at a rival gang member.

Last year Alexander, who is currently studying in Britain, found a bullet case lying on a pedestrian crossing on a street in the capital Hamilton and alerted police. He said he was concerned about "the surge in gun crime" on the island and urged others to play their part.
